that Marshall game wasn't going to be a guaranteed win? The unscheduled bye week may be a huge blessing in disguise.
Anyone else think...

Nothing guaranteed but yes more than likely we beat Marshall. Hate not having another win on schedule. So far from a blessing
Why would anybody think any of our games are guaranteed wins?
But if the cancellation of the Marshall game saved us from losing it, then we are probably going to lose a LOT of games this year. The next 4 teams we play are all better than Marshall.

I see what you did there.
Whether we played Marshall or not, my feelings have not changed. We played the toughest team on our schedule on Sept 8 and lost. The team that beat us is now ranked as the #2 team in the nation. Don't think we were capable of beating them unless we had played a near perfect game. which we failed to do.
However, the mistakes that we made that caused the score to be so lopsided are all correctable. I honestly do not think there are many teams out there who are automatically putting their game against us in the Win column. They will have a fight on their hands. With that in mind, we still have a chance to have a very good season and go to a very good bowl game.

You made seven discrete statements in that post. I agree with five of them completely and one of them tentatively. I disagree with one of them absolutely.
we will find out exactly what we have in the next 3 weeks. There will be absolutely no doubt.
I think Clemson and Kentucky are pretty confident they will beat us. Up to us to change that mentality. Well we?
No we have just been burned more frequently and coming of a beat down we are gun shy until we see us run the ball, pick up first downs and make our opponent punt and struggle to settle for FG.
Vandy playing well puts the fear of god in those of us that have 20,30,40+ years at this.
A win Saturday corrects the course, two wins in a row would be 66% of the way to a winning streak coming back to the house we need to start protecting “again”.
It’s all a process. I hope leaving that salty taste for an extra week provides the urgency needed.......we will see.
I’m sad we didn’t get to play.
Maybe??? Perhaps I’m not sure, Is there a politically correct solution to ride the fence
We could check with some politicians but that may become expensive
I don't understand how anyone can think any game is a guarantee. Is it because Marshall is not a P5 and the assumption becomes "they just not on the same level of competition so therefore a victory is assured ?"
My guess Nebraska and Wisconsin fans had a W penciled in this past weekend.
I'm not sure if a bye week 3 weeks into the season would have any benefits at this time.

We are the University of South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks. We have NO guaranteed wins. Never have. Never will.
